Mary Worth 581

These are the moments that mean the most. Nothing quite like a drug raid as it winds down. Hanging out with the boys. The casual conversation as you slap the cuffs on the drug lords. Makes it all worth while. Too bad about the Mets, though.

I bet you're wondering how they did it, how the cops won despite being out numbered and out gunned. Remember when the drug cartel was running out that open warehouse door to freedom? Turns out, that was all part of the plan. The giant door was a cleverly executed fake door painted onto the back wall of the warehouse. The drug cartel hit solid cinder block at full speed and knocked themselves out cold.

The dark haired drug lord on the floor has one of those faces that looks like the mask the villains on ''Scooby Doo'' used to wear. Like any minute now, Shaggy will show up, yank off the mask, and everyone will gasp- ''Why, it's Mr. Miller, from the general store!'' and the drug lord guy will sneer- ''Yes, it's me... and I would have gotten away with it, too... if it wasn't for you darn kids!''

Could it possibly BE??? Is the cop on the left a BLACK man? That would be a first for Santa Royale!

Also, we didn't see any of the police wearing ball caps before, but now in the background it looks like several cap-wearing dudes. Perhaps they found them in the bad guys' briefcases, mixed in with the cash and heroin. What wonderful souvenirs from the winding-down drug raid! Too bad about Miller and Hewlett, though.

As the twins (Sept. 27) drive the twins (see Sept. 23) to the hospital, I believe it will clearly be a case of mistaken identity once they reach the emergency room. Mass confusion will ensue as Adrian sheds tears over the dead body of Colleague Miller.
